Leo Messi will play against Bayern Munich. The striker will indeed resume training on Monday, which gives him the opportunity to play in the knockout stages of the Champions League, PSG – Bayern Munich, on February 14 at the Parc des Princes. Unless the situation turns around, he will start the first round against the Germans. Christophe Galtier confirmed this Friday at a press conference at Camp des Loges. “He felt muscle fatigue, explained the Parisian coach. The Uncertain point, you can put it aside”.
The Argentinian had returned from Marseille with a hamstring injury overnight from Wednesday to Thursday. He will not be traveling to Monaco, where Paris is playing this Saturday on behalf of the 23rd day of the French championship. Optimism is in order because the Pulga does not suffer from any injury. His rest responds to a precaution. He will remain in care for 48 hours, according to the club press release published at midday.
After having played the entire match in Marseille on Wednesday evening in the Coupe de France (1-2 defeat), caution forces him to breathe this weekend. He had chained three meetings in eight days, with goals against Montpellier then Toulouse, both in Ligue 1. His package in Monaco aims to allow him to recover and be operational Tuesday evening against Bayern. The “MNM” will therefore not be limited to the N of Neymar against Bayern. Even if Kylian Mbappé, victim of a thigh injury since the victory in Montpellier on February 1, remains more than uncertain, the Parisian staff is doing everything to allow him to hope for at least a place on the bench.
“Kylian is taking care of himself. The player’s health comes first and I will be very vigilant about his health, especially since the season is still long, ”commented Christophe Galtier this Friday. The coach finally gave news of Achraf Hakimi, the right side. “There is no embarrassment, he exposed. There is fatigue. He did his cleaning yesterday (Thursday) indoors to eliminate fatigue. Achraf is available for tomorrow’s match (this Saturday)” The infirmary also has Renato Sanches and Nordi Mukiele.
